1 Lincolnshire District Serving locally, connecting the county CHAIR OF DISTRICT The Revd Bruce Thompson DISTRICT SAFEGUARDING OFFICER Howard Smedley / lincolnshiredistrictsafeguarding@yahoo.co.uk Safeguarding Children and Vulnerable Adults Policy for Lincolnshire Methodist District 1. Philosophy. 1.1 The Methodist Church, along with the whole Christian community, believes each person has a value and dignity which comes directly from God s creation of male and female in God s own image and likeness. Christians see this as fulfilled by God s re-creation of us in Christ. Among other things, this implies a duty to value all people as bearing the image of God and, therefore, to protect them from harm. 1.2 The District is committed to the safeguarding and protection of all children, young people, and vulnerable adults. It affirms that the needs of children and of people when they are vulnerable are paramount. It acknowledges that safeguarding is everyone s responsibility and no-one is exempt from fulfilling their responsibility. 1.3 The District fully agrees with the Connexional statement reiterated in Creating Safer Spaces 2007: As the people of the Methodist Church we are concerned with the wholeness of each individual within God s purpose for everyone. We seek to safeguard all members of the church community of all ages. 1.4 The District recognises that there is particular help, support and care needed for those whose are vulnerable. It recognises that this vulnerability may be temporary or permanent and may be visible or invisible but acknowledges this does not diminish our duty of care towards an individual but seeks to affirm their value to God and to each other. 1.5 The District recognises the serious issue of the abuse of children and vulnerable adults and recognises that this may take the form of physical, emotional, sexual, financial, spiritual or institutional abuse or neglect. It acknowledges the effects these may have on individuals, sometimes also on their families, especially on their development, including spiritual and religious development. It accepts its responsibility for ensuring that all people are safe in its care and that their dignity and right to be heard is maintained. It accepts its responsibility to support, listen to and work for healing with survivors, offenders, communities and those who care about them. It takes seriously the issues of promotion of welfare so that each of us can reach our full potential in God s grace.
2 1.6 The District commits itself to responding without delay to any allegation or cause for concern that a child or adult may have been harmed, whether in the church or any other context. It commits itself to challenge the abuse of power of anyone in a position of trust. 1.7 The District commits itself to ensuring the implementation of Connexional Safeguarding Policy, national government legislation and guidance, local policies and protocols, especially in relation to safe practice in circuits and churches. In particular it will support and practice the safer recruitment requirements as laid down by Connexional Policy of June 2013, implemented through the District Safer Recruitment Policy issued in February The District commits itself to the provision of support, advice and training for lay and ordained people that will ensure they are clear and confident about their roles and responsibilities in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults who may be vulnerable. It affirms the role of the District Safeguarding Group, the District Safeguarding Officer and those others who hold safeguarding roles in circuits and churches. 2. Purpose 2.1 The purpose of this safeguarding policy is to ensure everyone understands their responsibilities to safeguard and protect in the life of the church and to ensure people are clear about roles and responsibilities for children and vulnerable adults in our care and using our premises. It is to be read in conjunction with the Methodist Safeguarding Handbook (2010). 3. Governance. 3.1 District Council will take the overall responsibility for the work of safeguarding, with the District Safeguarding Group (DSG) as the vehicle to work to ensure the development and implementation of all requirements as laid down nationally and locally across the District. 3.2 The District will employ a District Safeguarding Officer (DSO) who will report to Chair of District and will offer support, advice and expert help to promote the work of safeguarding at all levels. 4. Partnerships 4.1 The District will commit itself to working in partnership with individuals and their families by showing respect and sensitivity at all times when offering help and support of any kind. Individuals, including children where appropriate, will be kept informed as to action taking place unless advised that this may not be helpful. This would usually occur in situations of abuse and harm. 4.2 Superintendents and Ministers will look to offer the most appropriate support through pastoral care even when concerns have to be dealt with more formally and procedurally. 4.3 The District will commit itself to working closely with external agencies to ensure the best support for those who need help. It will co-operate, particularly, with statutory agencies in working as a partner and, through DSG and the DSO, ensure working relationships with key colleagues, especially Local Authority Designated Officers (LADO) and Local Safeguarding Children Board colleagues from appropriate local authorities. 4.4 From time to time, and if appropriate, the District Safeguarding Officer will attend relevant meetings to represent the District, especially where there has been a concern which needs the involvement of other agencies.
3 4.5 Research is clear that working collaboratively results in offering better, more targeted help and the District is committed to working in such a way to ensure the best possible outcomes for all concerned. 5.1 District Safeguarding roles and responsibilities The District Safeguarding Group (DSG) will oversee the work and promotion of safeguarding across the District. It will meet at least four times a year and have an Independent Chair. Its role is to: Ensure support to all circuits and churches in implementing District and Connexional policy; Oversee the promotion of safeguarding children and vulnerable adults across the District and ensure that all necessary information is disseminated at a local level to support this; Ensure that the Chair, Superintendents, Ministers, Paid workers and all lay staff and relevant committee/group members are updated on any changes to safeguarding policy, practice and guidance. (The Chair of DSG, supported by the District Safeguarding Officer, will report to the District Council as required with such changes); Ensure that the work of safeguarding across the District is up to date and in line with National Policy and Guidance; Initiate programmes of awareness and good practice; Work collaboratively with other relevant groups (e.g. Connexional, regional and ecumenical partners and professional colleagues) in safeguarding issues District Safeguarding Officer (DSO) The District will have in place a DSO who serves the DSG and the wider District to: Ensure DSG is kept up to date with relevant national and local developments; Advice DSG on safeguarding issues, practice and procedures; Offer advice, and consultation to ordained and lay staff in the District on any individual case, situations and / or emergencies; Be available to assist with implementation of policy and procedure; Undertake risk assessments as appropriate; Be a critical link between all relevant Committees to ensure safeguarding is relevant and connected to groups within the District; Support Superintendent Ministers in their implementation of safeguarding policies; Ensure that Superintendent Ministers are aware of their responsibilities and enable training opportunities to be made available; Use the expertise and advice of the District Safeguarding Group and, as appropriate, Connexional personnel; Ensure that all circuits and churches create and implement policies and assist them in doing so; Be a pro-active link between the District and external agencies, especially statutory organisations, in ensuring the best support for those who need help; Be the Safeguarder for all District roles in making the final decision about suitability to those roles as per the District Safer Recruitment Policy 2014.
4 5.1.3 Circuit Safeguarding Representatives Each circuit within the District must have a circuit safeguarding representative. In the absence of one, arrangements should be made with an adjoining Circuit to agree mutual support until the vacancy is filled. Given the importance of this role, any new appointment must be formalised as per the District Safer Recruitment policy The District will commission formally all those who take up this post by way of a simple commissioning service at the appropriate circuit service. This will serve to help identify the person in the role to others in the circuit, raise the profile of the work that this role will undertake and give a public profile to the post holder. The role of the Circuit Safeguarding Representative is: 1. To receive safeguarding information as it comes via DSG and other sources and take action as advised; 2. To give advice / support on safeguarding across the circuit and especially to Ministers/Superintendents, advise on wider issues involving children vulnerable adults and promote safeguarding generally in the circuit through relevant meetings and appropriate settings; 3. To give advice on safeguarding policies and procedures; 4. To represent the voice / needs of the child / adult in the life of the church to take a role in offering advice in situations where additional considerations about children etc need to be given e.g. risk assessments, renovation of buildings, future planning for services and activities; 5. To report back to the DSG any feedback that may be relevant and helpful bringing to the DSG themes and issues that need consideration and may need attention on a wider level, or may affect changes needed to policy and practice; 6. To liaise with the DSO as appropriate; 7. To assist in the implementation of relevant safeguarding training across the circuits; 8. To act as Safeguarder for all Circuit roles as per the District Safer Recruitment Policy The District acknowledge the recommendations of the Chichester report which identify the need for Ministers not to be in a safeguarding role. However, where in the District, Ministers have to take on this role, mainly due to the limitation of others who can, they will work with their Circuit Leadership Teams to support their decisions and look to transfer their responsibilities as soon as is possible and practicable Church Safeguarding Contacts. Each church must have a church safeguarding contact. In the absence of one, the Minister or an appointed person within the church will undertake that role until a suitable person is found. However, this should not militate against ensuring there is a contact in place whenever this is possible. The roles of the church contact are: 1. To receive and distribute any information regarding safeguarding amongst the Church in general and Church Council; 2. To be a presence at all relevant meetings within the circuit to represent the church in safeguarding matters; 3. To ensure that all in the church are aware of the safeguarding policy adopted by the church and ensure it is displayed prominently and reviewed each year;
5 4. To promote within the church best practice on safeguarding, identify training needs within the church and co-ordinate DBS checks and other relevant form completions; 5. To liaise as appropriate and necessary with the circuit safeguarding representatives and the District Safeguarding Officer; 6. To be a member of the safer recruitment sub-committee to make final decisions about church roles, with others, as per the District Safer Recruitment Policy Procedures for dealing with concerns. 6.1 Each circuit must have in place a safeguarding policy for both children and vulnerable adults. Each church will have its own simplified version. All such policies will be reviewed and as necessary updated annually. 6.2 In terms of procedures, the District has in place a District Flowchart for dealing with any concerns about children, adults and those in church roles. It is the policy of the District that all churches will adopt this flowchart as its means of ensuring the appropriate responses to concerns. 6.3 The District Flowchart should be displayed publicly in a designated place that will ensure all those in the church, visitors to it and those in a role in the church are clear on their responsibilities. Good practice will suggest that photographs of key safeguarding people should be displayed alongside the flowchart on a designated space provided for safeguarding information in the church. 7. Provision of safeguarding training. 7.1 The District will develop, implement and deliver essential and appropriate training as required by Connexional and national standards. Training is seen as critical to the District s ability to safeguard and protect. Refusal to attend training will be taken seriously and, if necessary, invoke Methodist discipline arrangements, including suspension from posts until such training has been completed. 7.2 Circuit representatives and church contacts will play a key role in highlighting numbers for training, keeping systems for recording who has undertaken which training and keeping people informed of their training requirements. 7.3 The DSG will oversee the development of training within the District and ensure that all necessary requirements are being fulfilled. 7.4 The DSO will work with the Regional Learning Ministries and Development Team (DLMN) as appropriate. 8. Hiring of church premises. 8.1 The District will ensure that all outside groups using its premises, other than its own groups, will be subject to a letting agreement and be required to evidence their own safeguarding policies and appropriate DBS checks. Without such, a group will not be compliant to use the premises. 9. Risk assessments. 9.1 It will be essential that all activities will be risk assessed to ensure compliance with policy, procedure and insurance requirements. This will be especially important for Youth workers as they engage with a range of activities which will require such assessment.
6 10. Criminal record checks (DBS) All those in an appropriate role will have in place a DBS that is relevant to their role and is up-todate every 5 years. All those who are in a role without a valid DBS will be expected to stand down from that role until one has been applied for This is particularly important for Ministers and Deacons, including Supernumeraries, and paid lay workers. 11. Policy review 11.1 This policy will be reviewed each year in order to ensure it is up to date, relevant and in line with national and local initiatives and requirements.
